>>> mein Gott! there are sooo many to choose from, that a comprehensive listing takes a few pages in the PDR (physicians's desk reference) and you may feel like you need a degree in chemistry to wade through it thoroughly.
but everybody's body is different, even among AIS'ers, so the patch or pill that works best for YOU in particular is the one you want......
so, the best (short) advise i can give, is to stay away from premarin (side effects) and take whatever formulation keeps your level from falling with any rapidity... its not the hormone (or lack thereof) that causes hot-flashes, but the drastic change in level.
build as much bone density as you can, while you can (milk and spinach
And have fun!
I hope you discover that having AIS is not the end of the world, and has some not so hidden blessings in it for you.
check out the "grass is always greener thread" for laughs.
